This photo shows imagery in a very simple way. It simply shows an image. An image can be interpreted in many different ways. This picture I took in Yellowstone at Artist’s Point depicts a river running through a deep canyon. The river has slowly carved its path deep into the canyon over many years. The river continues making a path. It is always flowing. Certain things make it bigger and carve a deeper path, and some things do the opposite. This can symbolize no matter what you do, you will carve yourself a path. The actions you take however, will decide where your path leads and how deep into something, like a river to a canyon. However you cannot turn back, just as a river can not suddenly flow in reverse.

A pair of small blue rubber boots

Scamper across slippery pavement

Wet and cracked

Fleeing from the storm which chases with black, billowing clouds

Letting loose bellows of thunder that shake the heavens in their outrage

Lightning rakes its claws across the sky

Revealing for only a moment

A creaking, mysterious old mansion

Left in a state of disrepair

Black paint flaking away from weathered boards

Which have seen many storms and perhaps other things

A large, once grand porch, now covered in brown vines

Dry and dead

Shadows seeping out of windows, tall and gaunt

Revealing nothing of the secrets inside

Surrounded by spindly trees

reaching their branches, like hands, out into the night

Reaching for something they cannot have

Dead brown leaves swirl up with the wind only for a moment

Until settling back into the mud

Before crunching into pieces under small, tired feet

The rotting old stairs of the mansion let out a groan

As small boots ascend them

Tiny hands reach up and grasp a cold, iron handle

Attached to the cryptic, unwelcoming door of the mansion.

A small figure can be seen as lightning flashes

Disappearing into the darkness and secrets of the old manor.

This poem expresses imagism, a form of poetry that uses words to give an image and ideas to a reader, but does not expressly say things that would tell one how to feel. My poem, “The Disturbance,” uses imagism to evoke a sense of mysteriousness, darkness, and something uncontrollable. The imagism of the storm could give a sense of something uncontrollable or dark; the mansion, something dark and mysterious; and the small figure with the blue boots, a mystery. It gives the reader something that they can imagine, feel.  The reader is also left with another mystery. The poem is titled, “The Night.” The images would depict the night, not emotions portrayed through words.

This gif shows imagery in a simple way. It is only a picture. It portrays a girl standing underneath an umbrella, except instead of protecting her from the rain, it rains on her instead. This could symbolize many things, one of them being, there are certain things you cannot escape. For her, it could just mean the rain, but it could also symbolize something on a deeper level, like emotion, or life situations.

A green leaf lays
on dewy, green grass.
Far underneath a glorious tree
that flourishes above.

This poem is imagistic. It is very simple, showing only an image of a green leaf in wet grass and a towering tree above. While it only shows a simple image, it can be very symbolistic. The leaf, no longer attatched to the tree could symbolize someone. Though they may look average, they could be disattatched from others, falling to a place they cannot get back from, at least not without help. Perhaps it could also symbolize, while the leaf is green, like the grass, it does not quite fit in. There is somewhere else, like the tree, where it is meant to be. This could represent a person displaced in a society, or perhaps how someone views themself in a certain society.

Imagism came into existence around the beginning of the 20th century in Britian and America. The founder of imagism is  Ezra Pound. Imagism is a simple type of poetry, not hiding deep, emotional hidden meanings, but just portraying an image. Imagist poems might have interpreted meanings, but upstraight they do not tell a reader to feel certain emotions or describe things other than an image. In this post, I show different types of imagism, not only poetry, and I tell of how I and other could interprety them.
